I would disagree. The proper question is: "do I need a structured RDBMS or not?" Then if yes, which should I use? Just saying "SQLite!" starts to sound like the Regex quote from 1997: https://blog.codinghorror.com/regular-expressions-now-you-ha... A SQL system can do many wonderous things, but there's a wide range of pain and benefit across the different systems.

Think about requirements first, then tech/implementation approach.

But yeah, like everyone else, I often just start with SQLite anyway!
